Tinkercad 3D 設計入門（8-12 歲初學者）

In this exciting course your learner will be oriented with TinkerCad 3D design software and learn the very basics of manipulating shapes to create something using the 3D design process.  

Please note: Learners will need a free INDIVIDUAL account prior to the start of class.  TinkerCAD's process for child accounts takes a few days to approve so please make their account at tinkercad.com before the day of class.  

Students will first watch the teacher demonstrate the use of TinkerCad.
Next students will have time to tinker and ask questions.
Next the teacher will assign a project and show a completed example.
Finally students will design their own details for the project to make it their own.    

TinkerCad is compatible with many 3D printers, and although actually printing the projects is outside the scope of this class, students are encouraged to find a 3D printer and actually print their projects. 

In order to participate in this class students will need to attend on a PC laptop or desk top.  A TinkerCad account will need to be created by the parent before the class starts and students will need to be logged in prior to the start of class. 

I have taught students in 3rd-5th grade the basics of TinkerCad for several years as part of an interdisciplinary project at my brick and mortar school.  I recently presented about this project at the Texas Computer Educators Association convention. I am so excited to share my knowledge and experience with TinkerCad here on Outschool with your learners!  I really love teaching kids about technology and the Engineering design process.  This project is a great way to get kids interested in design and 3D printing.
